Don't sell your stamps online!
A manager today told me heard about someone getting suspended for selling their stamps on eBay. It’s a violation of competition policy or something like that

Re: Don’t sell your stamps online!
Our union rep buys almost everyone's 25 for £15, 50 stamps for £30 cash which he sells on eBay, he even puts a poster up every year advertising the fact & almost all the office sell to him, been doing it for years nothing ever said.

Let’s hope his eBay name is not his real name as you can see he works in Ammanford and the pic was taken at work on his frame, would not be too hard to work out who it isPostie-York wrote: ↑29 Nov 2021, 20:40https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334235608654 ... Sw2cdho8AO

Re: Don't sell your stamps online!
Don't see the issue myself. RM not liking the fact that they're losing revenue from lost stamp sales? Prove it.
It's not like sending it 1st class gets there any quicker now, it's literally luck that dictates delivery time, unless it's tracked

hopefully it's not anything worth a conduct, it is pretty trivial to be honest and i'd doubt even the tax man would hound you over a book of 50 stamps sold

Re: Don't sell your stamps online!
technically you're not allowed to sell them on, this seller also gives his real name and area where he works as well and also add taking photographs inside their office of opened mail, wrong on so many levels and could lead to dismissal if progressed by someone higher upFirstPost wrote: ↑30 Nov 2021, 21:15what about it?Postie-York wrote: ↑29 Nov 2021, 20:40https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334235608654 ...

in fact, it'd probably be better for admin to delete this thread

Re: Don't sell your stamps online!
Would the fact that he/she/(enter pronoun) took the photo in the workplace, and presumably within working hours, be grounds for conduct, regardless of the issue of even selling the stamps?

Re: Don't sell your stamps online!
Doubtful from my limited understanding. As long as sensitive data and business practices weren't showing, i'd guess they'd have to prove person wasn't on break.
